American Bird Conservancy Unsustainable fisheries, rising temperatures, water pollution, and more threaten the balance of this ecosystem, with grim consequences for seabirds. Collectively, seabirds are the most endangered group of birds in the world.\u00a0In the albatross family, for example, 15 of 22 species are threatened with extinction\u00a0\u2014 largely driven by incidental bycatch from fisheries.<\/p>\n American Bird Conservancy and our partners are working to address these threats and\u00a0develop sustainable seascapes that benefit marine life and people. In Ecuador, fishers are adopting a technique that reduces bycatch of birds like the Waved Albatross. And in the South Pacific, island states are working to restore sea forests that will benefit coral reefs, many seabird species, and other wildlife.<\/p>\n Join us on Wednesday, July 29 at 4pm ET to learn more about vulnerable birds like the Waved Albatross, the connections between seabirds, coral reefs, and other marine habitats, and the solutions that are helping to protect them.<\/p>\n You’ll hear from ABC experts and partners, including:\u00a0<\/p>\n Please register here:\u00a0Safeguarding Seascapes for Seabirds<\/a><\/p>\n Please use the following AT Code: AT: Online Training: TMN AT Report hours<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"safeguarding-seascapes-for-seabirds","image":false,"all_day":false,"start_date":"2026-07-29 15:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"07","day":"29","hour":"15","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2026-07-29 16:00:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"07","day":"29","hour":"16","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2026-07-29 20:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"07","day":"29","hour":"20","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2026-07-29 21:00:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"07","day":"29","hour":"21","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"America\/Chicago","timezone_abbr":"CDT","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"","currency_code":"","currency_position":"","values":[]},"website":"","show_map":false,"show_map_link":false,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Advanced Training","slug":"advanced-training","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":12,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":905,"filter":"raw","meta":[],"id":7419,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/txmn.org\/lowertrinitybasin\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/7419","collection":"https:\/\/txmn.org\/lowertrinitybasin\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[],"venue":[],"organizer":[],"custom_fields":[]},{"id":198983,"global_id":"txmn.org\/lowertrinitybasin?id=198983","global_id_lineage":["txmn.org\/lowertrinitybasin?id=198983"],"author":"1356","status":"publish","date":"2026-05-01 17:31:50","date_utc":"2026-05-01 22:31:50","modified":"2026-07-26 18:14:47","modified_utc":"2026-07-26 23:14:47","url":"https:\/\/txmn.org\/lowertrinitybasin\/event\/nrg-cedar-bayou-ecocenter-181\/","rest_url":"https:\/\/txmn.org\/lowertrinitybasin\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/events\/198983","title":"NRG Cedar Bayou EcoCenter","description":" An opportunity to work with plants, tree, and seeds.
